Twice a week, The Chronicle features a local home on the market that caught our eye for its architecture, history or character. More photos: www.sfgate.com/columns/walkthrough.

Address: 7063 Skyline Blvd., Oakland.

Asking price: $1.095 million.

Description: Perched on a gentle slope in the Oakland hills is this four-bedroom contemporary adjacent to Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve and Robert Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve. The ceiling of the dining room features an oval medallion, and the room includes an alcove large enough to store a china cabinet. The step-down living room offers a fireplace and French doors opening to a deck with views of the surrounding hills and homes, and the master suite includes a fireplace and deck of its own. Glass doors off the eat-in kitchen look out at the view, and hardwood floors can be found throughout the public rooms of the home. An open home is being held at the listing Sunday from 2 to 4:30 p.m.

Don't miss: The views. The home looks out at San Francisco, the bay, and both the Golden Gate and Bay bridges.
